Equal Employment Opportunity

The Business Career Center makes its facilities available only to those firms whose employment practices and procedures are consistent with the provisions of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and Wisconsin’s Fair Employment Practices Statutes. These documents prohibit discrimination on the basis of age, race, creed, color, handicap, marital status, sex, national origin, ancestry, sexual orientation, arrest record or conviction record. 

Students have been provided with the “Guide to Appropriate Pre-Employment Inquiries” which is available in our office. On the reverse side of the form is the Student Interview Feedback Report. Companies will be informed by the Business Career Center of any legal or ethical concerns that arise in the pre-recruiting or recruiting process.

Second Interviews and Hiring Procedures

Follow-up with Students

Please contact students within the time you specified during your campus visit. An e-mail or brief phone call showing your continued interest are the best ways to keep qualified candidates interested in your organization. We have found that many students interpret silence to mean that you are no longer interested in them.

We would appreciate your informing students in whom you are not interested as soon as possible so that they can use their time and energy to pursue other opportunities.

Travel Arrangements and Expense Reimbursement.

When you invite students to your organization, please make all travel logistics and scheduling arrangements as specific as possible. In addition, be sure to clearly specify the categories of expenses and amount of reimbursement you typically cover. Due to the increasing cost of air travel, please provide prepaid tickets whenever possible. Although some employers reimburse students at the end of the site visit, we realize this is not always possible. We do ask, however, that students be reimbursed for travel expenses within a reasonable time period.

Offer Letters/Confirmation of Employment.

When offers are extended to our students, please e-mail the BCC so that we can be kept informed on the status of candidates you are considering. When we have been informed that you have hired one of our students, we will cease referring that individual for other positions. Please advise us when University of Wisconsin-Madison hires have been finalized.

Salary Reporting

Salary data you supply is kept confidential. It is used for reporting to the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) and for compiling summary reports to inform students and employers of averages and trends. Salary Statistics and reports are generated in accordance with the standards set by NACE.

Eligibility to Interview

UW-Madison students currently enrolled in a degree-granting program with a BuckyNet account and a resume entered on the Business Career Center database are eligible to interview. 

Student Resumes

The resumes provided by the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Business are available to you to fill positions within your company only.  The password for the Web Resume Book download page and any resumes or resume information obtained through the Business Career Center may not be referred or distributed outside your company to other companies, organizations, or third-party firms.
